HALF INCH 16 TRACK AUDIO REEL OXFORDSHIRE UK

Audio to WAV or High Quality MP3 File Conversion Oxford

We transfer all 8 tracks perfectly synched as raw audio data files in WAV, AIFF, FLAC or Broadcast Wave Format. Each track (1 through 8) on the tape becomes a soundfile (1 through 8) on the data CD/DVD.

Sound files can be imported in your editing program for mixing and sound processing.

Playback and recording on professional equipment (each of our interconnect cables costs more than the average discounter's studio...).

8-track 1/2 inch tapes are played back and digitized at 15 ips. If your master tape was NOT originally recorded at 15 ips, when you load the data files into your editing program, it is a very simple command to change the speed and pitch. A 1 octave change (up or down) will equal a change of tape speed by x2 or x1/2.

Analog to digital conversion is performed with the best available, cleanest sounding A/D converters.

The transfer is RAW: no noise reduction, no trimming, no mix-down, no separating by songs.

For transfers up to 700 Mb, a data CD will be prepared. For transfers over 700 Mb, data DVD(s) are prepared.

The magnetic tape medium is prone to loss of high frequencies (HF). The HF loss is magnified by aging and by storage in less than optimum conditions (optimum storage conditions for magnetic tape: 68 degrees F at 40% humidity). Many tapes submitted are old and have not been stored optimally. Such tapes will exhibit an increased loss of HF, and an apparent increase in "boominess". Our RAW transfers are an exact digitization, they will sound exactly as the tape plays today. The proper balance between high and low frequencies (equalization) can be restored by an experienced engineer (or by you) in your studio.
